Dystopias are usually not so poignant with me as they are for others, because I usually do not participate in that which is being portrayed as the beginning of a steep and dangerous slope; they lack poignancy with me because I cannot relate to that which is being exaggerated, and so I am just a frustrated outsider, and it often makes me sick looking inside, not because I see myself, but because sometimes people make me sick, or perhaps, fictional exaggerations of human beings sometimes make me sick.
Thus Black Mirror is a frustrating experience, at least in my first small tastes. It's gross, and doesn't carry along as much poignancy or insight for me as is necessary to combat the feelings.
